    Still ReactOS performs better in basic Win32 APIs… makes no sense.

      Hasn’t ReactOS been accused of using code that was not reverse-engineered multiple times? If they became too big MS would probably just sue them.

        From what I’ve heard they used some assembly code directly for very low level functions.

          As if the Windows XP source code wasn’t leaked already…

            That’s…not a legal excuse.

            In fact that’;s an open and shut end to a project if you’re caught doing it.

              As long as you don’t copy code…

                It’s enough that you have read the code before implementing an alternative to get into legal trouble.

                  Good luck proving that.

                    ?? Historically it’s been an issue where you need to prove you didn’t do it, because otherwise the companies would bury you in legal fees trying to defend yourself. You’re like…trying to argue an alternate universe to how this normally plays out.

      If you want some APIs implemented, make a feature request; you understand what you want

      Unrelated but everytime you end a sentence with an ellipsis I imagine someone’s nerdy youtube rantsona with their arms crossed and a sly grin
